Nancy Guild (October 11, 1925 – August 16, 1999) was an American film actress of the 1940s and 1950s. The actress appeared in Somewhere in the Night (1946); The Brasher Doubloon (1947) and the comedy Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951). Though appearing in major films, Guild never achieved as much fame as 20th Century Fox had hoped for, and eventually gave up acting to marriage. Guild (Hollywood publicity writers in the 1940s said "Guild rhymes with wild!") dropped out of films in the early-1950s after marrying Broadway producer Ernest Martin. Nancy Guild was a University of Arizona freshman when a Life magazine photographer noticed her. A week after the picture debuted, she won a Hollywood contract.
